出エジプト記 24

1 又モーセに言たまひけるは汝アロン、ナダブ、アビウおよびイスラエルの七十人の長老とともにヱホバの許に上りきたれ而して汝等遥にたちて拝むべし

And to Moses he said, Go up to the Lord, you and Aaron and Nadab and Abiud, and seventy of the elders of Israel: and they shall worship the Lord from a distance.

2 モーセ一人ヱホバに近づくべし彼等は近るべからず又民もかれとともに上るべからず

And Moses alone shall draw near to God; and they shall not draw near, and the people shall not come up with them.

3 モーセ來りてヱホバの諸の言およびその諸の典例を民に告しに民みな同音に應て云ふヱホバの宣ひし言は皆われらこれを爲べし

And Moses went in and related to the people all the words of God and the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, saying, All the words which the Lord has spoken, we will do and be obedient.

4 モーセ、ヱホバの言をことごとく書記し朝夙に興いでて山の麓に壇を築きイスラエルの十二の支派にしたがひて十二の柱を建て

And Moses wrote all the words of the Lord; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the mountain, and [set up] twelve stones for the twelve tribes of Israel.

5 而してイスラエルの子孫の中の少き人等を遣はしてヱホバに燔祭を献げしめ牛をもて酬恩祭を供へしむ

And he sent forth the young men of the children of Israel, and they offered whole burnt offerings, and they sacrificed young calves as a peace-offering to God.

6 モーセ時にその血の半をとりて鉢に盛れ又その血の半を壇の上に灌げり

And Moses took half the blood and poured it into bowls, and half the blood he poured out upon the altar.

7 而して契約の書をとりて民に誦きかせたるに彼ら應へて言ふヱホバの宣ふ所は皆われらこれを爲て遵ふべしと

And he took the book of the covenant and read it in the ears of the people, and they said, All things whatever the Lord has spoken we will do and listen therein.

8 モーセすなはちその血をとりて民に灌ぎて言ふ是すなはちヱホバが此諸の言につきて汝と結たまへる契約の血なり

And Moses took the blood and sprinkled it upon the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the Lord has made with you concerning all these words.

9 斯てモーセ、アロン、ナダブ、アビウおよびイスラエルの七十人の長老のぼりゆきて

And Moses went up, and Aaron, and Nadab and Abiud, and seventy of the elders of Israel.

10 イスラエルの神を見るにその足の下には透明れる靑玉をもて作れるごとき物ありて耀ける天空にさも似たり

And they saw the place where the God of Israel stood; and under his feet was as it were a work of sapphire slabs, and as it were the appearance of the firmament of heaven in its purity.

11 神はイスラエルの此頭人等にその手をかけたまはざりき彼等は神を見又食飮をなせり

And of the chosen ones of Israel there was not even one missing, and they appeared in the place of God, and did eat and drink.

12 茲にヱホバ、モーセに言たまひけるは山に上りて我に來り其處にをれ我わが彼等を敎へんために書しるせる法律と誡命を載るところの石の板を汝に與へん

And the Lord said to Moses, Come up to me into the mountain, and be there; and I will give you the tables of stone, the law and the commandments, which I have written to give them laws.

13 モーセその從者ヨシユアとともに起あがりモーセのぼりて神の山に至る

And Moses rose up and Joshua his attendant, and they went up into the mount of God.

14 時に彼長老等に言けるは我等の汝等に歸るまで汝等は此に待ちをれ視よアロンとホル汝等とともに在り凡て事ある者は彼等にいたるべし

And to the elders they said, Rest there till we return to you; and behold, Aaron and Or are with you: if any man have a cause to be tried, let them go to them.

15 而してモーセ山にのぼりしが雲山を蔽ひをる

And Moses and Joshua went up to the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.

16 すなはちヱホバの榮光シナイ山の上に駐りて雲山を蔽ふこと六日なりしが七日にいたりてヱホバ雲の中よりモーセを呼たまふ

And the glory of God came down upon the mount Sina, and the cloud covered it six days; and the Lord called Moses on the seventh day out of the midst of the cloud.

17 ヱホバの榮光山の嶺に燃る火のごとくにイスラエルの子孫の目に見えたり

And the appearance of the glory of the Lord was as burning fire on the top of the mountain, before the children of Israel.

18 モーセ雲の中に入り山に登りモーセ四十日四十夜山に居る

And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and went up to the mountain, and was there in the mountain forty days and forty nights.
